Kissing Lola Montez-

JOIN Mahon, whom In 1856 was O re-
porter on the New York Express, gives
this account of an interview with Lola
Montez: "One day while sitting alone
with her talking on different subjects,
she became excited, flung away her
cigarette (she was a great smoker) and
paced wildly around the room, then
suddenly fell into q chair and burst into
tears. For some moments she kept
crying end wringing her hands, and
fearing she was going into Mysteries /
was about to ring for her maid, when
| she stopped me. Don't said she, i
| shall be better soon; but, oh, Mahon,
| when I think of former times, when !
had my foot upon q throne, ! am ready
to go mad, especially at the asper-
sions cast upon my name. They say
I was mistress of the King of Ba-
varia! If that were eyen so, it wouldbe
no disgrace, for it is considered the
highest honor to be mistress to q king.
Look at Lady Jersey, Mrs. Fitzherbert,
and, later still, Mrs. Jordan, whose
children were all ennobled. But it was
not SO, that's all. I saved that mans
country and throne, and he created me
o countess, while his wife kissed me
and called down blessings on my head
as the savior Of her husband. Fancy /
wife kissing her husbands mistress"
and she laughed. She then gave me I
history OF her life. Her parents diet
early her guardians married her to
Lieut.. James, of the British army il
Indis; he rad away with another man'
wife, leaving his child wife to shift foi
herself; after the Bavarian episode sh'

In early New England days, as for

fury, when hospitality was a practice as
well as q virtue, there was in most
houses only one large assembly room,
and there the family and all the guests
and chance callers gathered Of winter
nights about the blazing fire of logs.
We know that youth was youth and
love was love, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy, and court
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room,
where every word was heard and every
look taken notice of? We read in the
admirable volume on the recent CEN
tennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Prof. Richard S. STAIRS of that town,
in the winter evenings for the conven
fence of young lovers, since there WIS

used; that is. long wooden tubas that
could convey from lip to ear sweet and
secret whispers. Was this an invention
peculiar to Long Meadow?

young man got more ardent than was
seemly, as the flip went round, for the
girl to put her thumb over the end of
the tube, and stop the flow of soul! Did

A Truthful Diplomat.

When that model merchant, Abbott
Lawrence, was at the height of his mer-
camille prosperity he was offered the post
of ambassador to the English court, an
elegant compliment to himself personally
and to the honorable and influential class
of whom he might almost be said to be the
head. Before accepting he asked Mr..
Everett, who had already occupied the
post, whether. there was really any
foundation in truth for the ancient cpl
grammatic jest that an ambassador is a
person sent to foreign government to
tell lies for his own, adding that if such
was the case his mind was made up; he
had never yet told q lie, and he was not
going to begin at the age Of 56." Mr..
Everett told him he could answer for
himself as foreign minister; that he had
never said word or written a line
which, as far as his own character or that
of the government was concerned, he
should have been unwilling to see in the
newspapers the next day. This eXplana-
ton, the upright merchant replied, re-
moved one of his scruples. Dry Goods

Cremation in Germany.

There has just been held at Gotha a
diet of delegates from the various crema-
ton societies in Germany, as well as of
several other countries, including Italy,
Switzerland, Holland, and America, the
last being represented by Mr. Storer
Cobb, of Boston, who is at present lectur-
ing in Germany on the disposal of the
dead by fire. The diet discussed and ap-
proved the statutes of general association
of societies for funeral reform and on
tional cremation; and this association
was joined by the local societies of Ber-
lin, Potsdam, Frankfort, Darmstadt.
Liesnitz, Chemnitz, Heidelberg, Dresden.
Leipsic, Hamburg, etc. These societies
have already their journalistic organs i'm
the shape of two magazines called Gesund-
heit and News F1amme (Health and New
Flalne), SO it will be seen that the crema-
ton idea is making progress in Germany.
The delegates inspected the cremator-
ium at work in the churchyard at Gotha.
and they were assured by the burgomas-
ter that the repugnance of many to this
form OF burial had been completely over
come by the sight of the decorous and
BETTING manner in which bodies are re-
duced to dust by rapid process of fire
and then inurned.-Cor, Chicago Times.
